What a Privilege

When you see somebody on the screen in a documentary, you're really engaged with a person going through real life experiences. So for that period of time, as you watch the film, you are, in effect, in the shoes of another individual. What a privilege to have that experience.

-- Albert Maysles, documentary cinematographer

The image in the post is from "Roz (and Joshua)," a three-minute documentary short by Charlene Music about how a mother's longing for her child can create optimism even in the face of extreme destitution.
